Testing the 12-inch MacBook's Performance with Windows 10

Step one: Install Cmdr http://gooseberrycreative.com/cmder/

Step two: If on !Win10, use the chocolatey nu-get package manager (https://chocolatey.org/), but if on Win10, I _think_ the native package manager will be a drop-in, tho I'm not sure.

That is literally _all_ you have to do to get 90% of what I do on a linux terminal into a windows console.

Agree about Cmdr, but I'd add PyCmd[1] and UnxUtils[2]. I've never had much success with Chocolatey (probably due to corporate firewall issues). Gets me acceptably close to bash.

Be careful with Chocolatey, it will install the software without unchecking those nastly tools: search bars, etc. To be honest, it makes Chocolatey absolutely unuseful.

Source for this? I use Chocolatey on Win7 and haven't had anything unwanted installed. No Ask Toolbar (from multiple JRE and JDK installs), etc.

Chocolatey has been awful for me. Also Cmdr is not well unmaintained and it's a far cry from the Linux tool-chain. People will be better off with Babun or straight Cygwin - http://babun.github.io/

I'd like to add Babun [1] as an alternative to Cmder. Not that I don't like Cmder, but Babun comes with a preconfigured Cygwin and a lot more tools out of the box.

Didn't you forget to add Cygwin there?

Unless you have to execute (ba)sh-native scripts in Windows, I find Cygwin way too cumbersome. As I mentioned above, UnxUtils gets you the tooling without the path delimiter headaches.
